Hi Kenneth, One spontaneous feed back this morning ... Of course, in an enterprise, the name, branding, logo, website and coherence are one great important point. And in most case, the enterprise ask to professional designers to care about this. And in such a relation (expert-client), the custumer can choose what he like or not, or choose another provider. And ... when the client need a flyer or anything, for a special event, he can ask the provider - and get again a choice for that. Is that right ? One context => one average process Now ... openSUSE ... Could we take 3 minutes to "compare" ? to analyse the differences ? Not the same at all, of course. I just give you a few examples : - OSC 11 Nürberg (first time I came) : as a "new visitors", the logo was great, but much more the plush ... it was FUN !! Each one has his geeko, ans openSUSE pictures went around (many ppl with a "symbol" on shoulder"). Now ? where are the geekos plush ? ah ok, just for SUSE ? (I dont know the motivations or reason, I just can analyse the outside result/effect) Last year, I was taking care of the FOSDEM booth (with Ancor, Bruno, yorgo, alexandro ..) - and we received (for the first time ... the "booth box" ... after many waiting months, if I remember well) So, we opened the gift ;-) and discovered the flyers, posters ... (I went to your talk at OSC13 ... and ok you explained your choices ... back pens and USBkeys, technical things ...OK nice talk) Again if I remember well, there was an article written about material booth (after the fosdem). And of course you DID GREAT job !! Did anybody from the design team noticed what we gave as a feed back ? (no reaction) For example : green is nice, but green beside green upon green ... make absolute no contrast on a booth ...OK ... this mail is not to start a talk on technical & look details (size of logo, respecting or not). You are an expert, and a designer, and that's fine. According to me, there are 3 "process bug" to solve : - 1. when openSUSE guys need to organize an event, and we saw calls on the project list (for OSC 15 and for mini summit scale), there were no proposition at all - Except Andy ... so presently, the big question would be : who do the design work in openSUSE (better than ... oh openSUSE designer should respect the rules) ? So what ? how can geekos organize event (all around) and have specific posters ? -2. when you suggest logo, posters, material ... where you open to change a detail ? I dont think so. The community did not have a choice. One color is like boring ... all the same ... Could we remember that "let's have FUN" was essential ? so What ? where is openSUSE choice ? -3. of course Andres, it would be the FUN to get a new logo, website and plush (I'm thinking to KDE Gonki) for openSUSE, but you know it's a long work, hours, ideas, brainstormings, creation and ... CHOICES (like it was donr for the china mini-summit : ppl could vote) So what ? Are you (Kenneth) the openSUSE designer ? And having time to do that great project ? Or can the board call for providers to suggest project&quot ? = This is a question for the board When openSUSE ppll do mini summit, who is able to do the job ? so lol, "this email might sound like the beating of a drum". OK you are a professional, but you ask to the community to respect design rules ... but the first problem (to find a solution) is to get competent ppl to do the job (website, logo, posters, flyers ...) when ppl need (as scale), thanks for reading and have fun today ;-) Françoise -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Dear openSUSE contributor. I'm contacting you personally, as an openSUSE Board member. You certainly already know that we want to have a kicking openSUSE conference next 1st-4th May 2015 at the Haag (NL). Thus I've found that creating special workshop organized by development project could foster our beloved distribution. Please consult and share the following article https://lizards.opensuse.org/?p=11193 I'm looking forward to see you at oSC! -- Bruno Friedmann (tigerfoot) openSUSE Member & Board, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] oSC15 - Drive to 150
by Robert Schweikert 16 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, oSC15 is coming up, May 1-4 in The Hague, and as you may or may not know we are in a bit of trouble concerning registrations and talk submissions. Additionally some legislation changes eventually trickled down to effect us and we have to move our venue. Our previous location BINK36 is being sold as the current owner is being forced, via legislation, to re-focus their effort on housing rentals rather than side projects such as venue rentals. The sales process of BINK36 leaves us in limbo with respect to signing a contract and thus we have to move to a new venue. Thanks to the effort of Hans and Robin a new location has already been found and we are ready to leave BINK36 behind and look forward to meet at Westvliet (http://www.westvliet.nl/algemeen/sfeerimpressie/ .) While this is primarily a sports facility there is plenty of room for us to hang out, chat, hack, and have fun together. Thus, as of today we focus on a new venue and move forward. The new venue is located in a town called Voorburg just on the outskirts of The Hague. The location is easily reachable by train from down town The Hague, thus if you already booked a Hotel there is nothing to worry about. So much for the news about the venue change, an article will appear shortly on news.o.o. Now to my personal appeal to everyone. Yes, we certainly had some rough times over the last couple of years and some of us are probably still disgruntled. However, I think the time has come to let the past rest and look forward to new horizons. oSC15 is a great opportunity to do just that. We can all come together re-kindle the spirit that has made past events great with large numbers of us Geekos participating in oSC. oSC is our event, it can only be successfull if as many of us as possible participate. Whether we discuss the booth boxes, marketing efforts, design, or technical contributions, all areas benefit from face to face time. oSC is our opportunity to meet face to face and discuss and improve the state of our project. As with every conference TSP money is available to help get you to the conference. With the budget in very good shape there will be extra money available for the TSP to help more people get to oSC. The TSP period will open in the near future, watch out for announcements. Please consider to join your fellow Geekos at oSC15 in The Hague, May 1 - 4, 2015. The goal is to have at least 150 people at the conference, overshooting the goal would certainly be a welcome sign of live. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to see you in The Hague.
